I am having various major problems, summed up basically by the fact I get unrepeatable segfaults left and right. It's gotten to the point where it is not possible to merge medium to large software.
Now, I already suspect my hardware. However I'd like to rebuild my entire toolchain, because I used insane CFLAGS from stage1. I've since backed off to near-default CFLAGS. I've tried this through portage the following way: emerge linux-headers && emerge linux-headers glibc && emerge glibc binutils gcc && emerge binutils gcc && emerge -e system && emerge -e system Now I don't know if that's the correct way, but a user on #gentoo told me this and many agreed. I have tried, however when I hit glibc the first time I run into unrepeatable segfaults, and I can't move on. So from what I hear, avenj has rescue bins for all the toolchain components. I'm nervous about this as I realize it's a critical portion of Gentoo. How do I go about this safely? What do I need to know? Is there another way to approach this, other than the obvious "reinstall"? Thanks! - -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
